Rule 17f-5 (17 CFR 270.17f-5) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, Custody of Investment Company Assets Outside the United States

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 17f 5 (17 CFR 270.17f 5) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 governs the custody of the assets of registered management investment companies (“funds”) with custodians outside the United States. The rule allows a fund or its foreign custody manager (as delegated by the fund’s board) to maintain the fund’s foreign assets in the care of an eligible fund custodian under certain conditions. If the fund board delegates to a foreign custody manager, the rule requires that the fund board find that it is reasonable to rely on each delegate and the delegate must agree to provide written reports to the fund board and establish a system to monitor the performance of the contract. The collection of information requirements under the rule are intended to provide protection for fund assets maintained with a foreign bank custodian.

Securities Act Rule 477

Key Information

Abstract

Rule 477 (17 CFR 230.477) governs the withdrawal of a Securities Act of 1933 (“Securities Act”) registration statement. The rule provides that a registrant must sign any application for withdrawal and must state fully in it the grounds on which the registrant makes the application. The rule further provides that the registrant must state in the application that no securities were sold in connection with the offering. The information collection requirements help to ensure that the Commission has sufficient information regarding a registrant’s application to withdraw a registration statement to determine whether to grant such application (based on whether such withdrawal is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors).

Rule 12h-1(f)

Key Information

Abstract

Under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), an issuer that has a class of equity security (other than an exempted security) held of record by 2,000 persons, or 500 persons who are not accredited investors and total assets in excess of $10 million at the end of its most recently ended fiscal year must register that class of equity security with the Commission, unless there is an available exemption from registration. Stock options, including stock options issued to employees under stock option plans, are a separate class of equity security for purposes of the Exchange Act. Rule 12h-1(f) (17 CFR 240.12h-1(f)) provides an exemption for private, non-reporting issuers from Exchange Act Section 12(g) registration for compensatory employee stock options issued under employee stock option plans where certain conditions, including certain information provision conditions, are present. Among other things, the exemption requires an issuer to provide information to option holders and holders of shares received on exercise of compensatory employee stock options. The purpose of the information collection is to provide holders of compensatory employee stock options in private, non-reporting issuers that are relying on the exemption from Exchange Act registration of the compensatory employee stock options appropriate disclosure and investor protections under the Federal securities laws.

Abstract

Section 101(a)(5)(D) of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361 et seq.) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) to allow, upon request, the incidental, but not intentional, taking by harassment of small numbers of marine mammals of a species or population stock by U.S. citizens who engage in a specified activity (other than commercial fishing) within a specific geographic region for periods of not more than 1 year. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (we, Service) will authorize incidental take by harassment if statutory and regulatory procedures are followed and the Service finds: (i) take is of a small number of marine mammals of a species or stock, (ii) take will have a negligible impact on the species or stock, and (iii) take will not have an unmitigable adverse impact on the availability of the species or stock for taking for subsistence uses by Alaska Natives.

Form ADV-H under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940

Key Information

Abstract

Form ADV-H (17 CFR 279.3) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 is the application that investment advisers use to request a hardship exemption from making Advisers Act filings electronically with the Investment Adviser Registration Depository (IARD). There are two types of hardship exemptions from making Advisers Act filings through IARD: a temporary hardship exemption and a continuing hardship exemption. Advisers Act rule 203-3 (17 CFR 275.203-3) sets forth requirements for both temporary hardship exemptions and continuing hardship exemptions for advisers registered or registering with the Commission. Advisers Act rule 204-4(e) (17 CFR 275.204-4(e)) sets forth requirements for temporary hardship exemptions for exempt reporting advisers. The purpose of Form ADV-H’s reporting requirements is to enable the Commission to process temporary hardship exemption requests from an adviser that is experiencing unanticipated technical difficulties that prevent it from submitting its Advisers Act filings to the IARD system and to determine whether to grant a continuing hardship exemption by providing information that shows the adviser qualifies as a small business and explains why the electronic filing requirements are prohibitively burdensome or expensive for the adviser.

Current Agricultural Industrial Reports (CAIR)

Key Information

Abstract

The National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) is seeking a three-year extension for its ongoing annual collection and publications. The data from the CAIR surveys will supply data users with important information on the utilization of many of the crops, livestock, and poultry produced in the United States. NASS currently collects crop data on acres planted and harvested, production, price, and stocks for these crops (grains, oilseeds, cotton, nuts, etc.), along with livestock data on the number of animals and poultry produced, slaughtered, prices, and the amount of meat kept in cold storage. The CAIR data series provides data users with vital information on how much of these commodities were processed into fuels, cooking oils, flour, fabric, etc. These additional data are needed to provide a more complete picture of the importance of agriculture to the American population.
